Windows 10 will not install ".NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)" in a WSUS environment. Error Code: 0x800F0954
Hi,
I need to install :
".NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)"
on multiple Windows 10 as its required by older software.
When I try to install it I get :
![Windows features Screenshot]()
![Error message]()
Windows couldn't complete the requested changes.
The changes couldn't be completed. Please reboot your computer and try again.
Error Code: 0x800F0954
The customer has WSUS and Windows 10 appears to be trying ot get this install from WSUS.
Why can't it find it / get it from WSUS ? And why can't it download from Microsoft directly if that fails ?
